A camel’s life expectancy is 50-60 years.
There are two true camels – the Dromedary or Arabian Camel (one hump) and the Bactrian Camel (two humps). They are desert animals. The Dromedary is native to western Asia and east Africa, the Bactrian Camel to central and east Asia.
A Camelid is a camel like animal. These are the Llama, Alpaca, Guanaco and Vicuna, all from South America.
Camels have oval red blood cells unlike other mammals which are round. This shape has an advantage in the dehydrated state.
